Unable to share files/printer on home network

[Guest]

I'm having trouble sharing files and accessing the printer on my home
network. All three computers have XP SP2. I use a Linksys WRK54G wireless
router. The base unit can share files with the two wireless units. The two
wireless units can share files with each other, but not with the base unit.
The wireless computers see the base unit on the network, but when I try to
reach the base unit I get this error message:

" COMPUTER_NAME is not accessible error message... you might not have
permission... logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested
logon type at this computer."

I have granted Shared Permissions on the base unit.

Any solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

That problem can be caused by inconsistent permission settings on the
base unit.

If the base unit runs XP Professional:

1. Click Start | Run, type "secpol.msc" in the box, and click OK.

2. Click Local Policies.

3. Click User Rights Assignment

4. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure
that the Everyone group is included.

5. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network".

a. Make sure that the Everyone group is NOT included.

b. If simple file sharing is enabled, make sure that the Guest
account is NOT included.
